First up was Donald Glover, who won two Emmys for his hilarious and poignant FX comedy Atlanta. The 33-year-old took home the gold for Best actor in a Comedy Series and Best Directing in a Comedy Series, making him the first African-American to win in this category in awards history!

Even better? Emmy winner and comedy legend Dave Chapelle handed the talented actor and director one of his golden statues:

One of the best moments of the night later came from Master of None’sLena Waithe, who along with co-star Aziz Ansari, won an Emmy for Best Writing in a Comedy Series. Waithe, an out and proud lesbian, is the first Black woman to win an Emmy in this category to which she received a standing ovation as she stood on stage.

“The things that make us different — those are our superpowers,” the Chicago native said. She made special mention of her “LGBTQIA family” and urged viewers who feel outside of the mainstream to rock a superhero cape every day “and go out there and conquer the world. It would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren’t in it.”

In addition to Glover and Waithe’s win, This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown won his second Emmy in two years–and his moment was history-making as well. He’s the first Black man to win in this category in 20 years. (Homicide: Life On The Street’sAndre Braugher won all the way back in 1997.)

“This one right here, when I think about it, like—Walter White held this joint?! Dick Whitman held this joint?! I may have lost some of y’all, but you know. Google it. And 19 years ago, Detective Frank Pembleton won this joint.”
